ATI HD3000 Line finally gets some love

[Indybird]

Check out Newegg's stock of HD3000s (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+106792462&Configurator=&Subcategory=48&description=&Ntk=&srchInDesc=), they even got the new HD3870X2 (and at decent prices, might I add)

Comparison of the different models. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%20106792462&CompareItemList=N82E16814102719%2CN82E16814129103% 2CN82E16814102725%2CN82E16814102715&page=1&bop=And)

It looks like they got the specs wrong for the Sapphire 3870X2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048+106792462&StoreType=7&CompareItemList=N82E16814129103%2cN82E16814102723&page=2&bop=And)? Its labeled 320spu with 256bit memory interface rather than the 640spu with 512bit memory interface. That is incorrect isn't it?

It is possible the visiontech has upgraded specs. My HIS Hightech 3850 (newegg stopped selling btw, wtf) has 512 when the 3850s are normally have 256. This also has a few other upgrades from standard ATi spec 3850s.

Welcome to taxes, how may we screw you over?

[Quakken]

That's what you get for having a well-planned out and effective consumption tax.

Here in america, we only have to pay for the stuff we own, and our government is only 9 trillion dollars in debt.
